Only Congress can declare war, not Kings

Donald Trump and his fossil fueled fascist regime fancy themselves like the Kings of old – declaring war for conquest or any reason they want, anytime they please. But America does not have Kings. Only Congress has the power to declare war.

Unfortunately, an initial war powers vote that we told you about just after the war started, failed to pass either chamber of Congress. It was a party line vote, meaning that the problem remains with Trump’s fossil fueled fascist party as much as with the man himself. But it won’t be our last chance to stop this war or fight back (non-violently) agains the regime. We are expecting, maybe as soon as the end of this month, a vote on a $50 billion supplemental spending bill to fund further violence, militarism, and war in Iran and around the world.

And coming up in less than two weeks – on March 28 – millions of people will take to the streets as part of the next No Kings mobilization. This is what we need to get ready for, can you join us? Here’s how:

  1. Wherever you are and whatever your plans are, join us this Thursday, March 19, at 8pm ET | 5pm PT for the No Kings 3 kick off call.
  2. Make a plan to attend a No Kings event near you on March 28 – there are more than 1000 events already on the map and looking for help, volunteers, and RSVPs.
  3. Our coalition is dedicated to ensuring everyone attending a No Kings event has the tools and training they need to have a safe, secure, and nonviolent experience. Make sure you’re prepared for March 28th by attending an upcoming training.

As the war on Iran grinds on, American casualties are now in the double digits. Iranian casualties in the thousands. Global energy markets are in free fall with prices for everything from gas to groceries skyrocketing just as climate fueled extreme weather blankets the US from coast to coast to coast.

But every action this regime takes only strengthens the resolve of our movement because freedom is a spontaneous idea. Every day, in every city, town, school, job-site, and community new comrades are awakening to our struggle and preparing themselves to join our fight. No Kings is more than just a slogan—it’s our demand. And we refuse to stay silent while families in our communities are living in fear or struggling to survive—simply because Trump and his regime believe their power is absolute.

We’ll be coming together—virtually—for the official No Kings Kick-off Call on Thursday, March 19. Join us t hear from movement leaders, organizers on the ground, and special guests as we discuss the vision, urgency, strategy, and moral imperative behind this national day of nonviolent action.

Our country does not belong to fossil fueled fascists who rule through fear and violence. It belongs to the people. Don’t miss your chance to be in community with people, like you, who power our No Kings movement. RSVP today
